The Kerrville Eye does not see any
good reason why Medina county should
be relieved OF her taxes by legislative
act any more than scores of other coun-
ties in that district. The Eye saws. look
ing from under its eyebrows, EVERY
county in the district is in as bad a fix
financially as Medina" This is a good
Christian illustration of the force of the
old saying, that misery loves company.
Let the legislature authorize the issue
Of bonds for the taxes in all such cases
and trust wet weather and providence
for better crop next year.

The democracy Of the country does
not take kindly to Dana's attempt to
teach Cleveland the alphabet Of true
democracy. Dana himself is not con-
sidered true blue, and the general i'm
preston is that while Dana knows more
democracy than Cleveland he practices
less. Since Cleveland has gone in strong
for democratic appointments in all
places, and has thrown civil service to
the winds, his stock has gone up several
points.

The English moralists have had
enough of the saIacious details Of aristO-
cratic living and SHINING domestically
considered, and an effort is being made
to stop the publication ofthe nauseating
details when the cases become corrupt
enough to challenge the attention of
courts. The thing will be failure, so
long as reporters are expected to furnish
such items of news to the daily press.
The press is not likely to cease the pub
location of such scandals upon any ones
motion. 1t is not built that way. The
only thing that will prevent the publ
cation of such disgraceful particulars as
were brought out in the Colin Campbell
nastiness, will be the reformation of
morals so that such disgraoeful things
no longer occur.

AT dinner party the other evening heard
a story of President Lincoln which was new to

city, who said that the Presiden: was very much
annoyed by the persistence OF certain member
of Con gress named Jerry Smith, VINO haunted
him continually wherever ne went with app.i-
cations for Office on behalf of his constituents.
One day delegation of c.ereymen called upon
Mr.. Lincoln TO pay their respects, and one of
them asked him if he sought counsel and
guidance from the Lord during tn at time of his
great responsible and a. xiety.
"Yes." replied Mr.. Liz colin. 81 pray every
night before l retire. I think of the hundreds
of thousands of soldiers campsd the South;
the boys in blue we'll the boys in gray,
and pray that the may be supported in
their efforts to preserve the Union. and the other
shown the error of their unholy strife think
of the thousands of deserted homes in the North,
or the thousands of weeping women aud father
less children, and [ pray God To give them
strength to bear their bereavements d the
wisdom to that their husbands sons, and
fathers have died fighting for the right. 1
think of my responsibility and pray for strength
and wisdom Then look under the bed and
finding that Jerry Smith is not there with an
application fer Office, thank the Lord for it,
turn out the light, lock the door, jump In be-
tween the sheets, and go to sleep instantly"

business, it falls below that of the preceding
week, and considerably below that or Novem

loaded cars were received and forwarded at In
dianapols last week than in the week proceed
ing. while compared with the number han
died in the corresponding week of 1886 166 more
loaded cars handled at this point, and as
compared with 1885 APO more loaded cars Ex-
